Well, I can see where the issues are related, but you're right, it more UN-clarifies things for me.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. I'm not sure how you mean the slash (/) to be used here.
visibility vs. opacity/transparency vs. select-ability
I mean, I understand the issue about transparent objects not being readily selectable; it's almost like a transparent object doesn't exist....but it does.
Are you saying that an object in an invisible layer is the same thing as a fully transparent object? I don't think that's so. In the sense that neither is readily selectable, yes, they are alike. But in the end, one can still select a fully transparent object, while one can never select an object in an invisible layer (unless one changes the setting in Inks. Prefs.)
At this point, all I would like to clarify is the info in the tavmjong Guide (
Objects in locked or invisible Layers cannot be selected or changed.). I have solved my problem by changing the setting to show hidden objects or layers. But that would imply the Guide is wrong on this point......
And if the Guide is wrong (or maybe slightly outdated on that point), does this mean that the bug you referenced is not really a bug, because the user need simply change that setting for showing hidden objects and layers? I never finished reading all the comments in the bug report, because it was dragging on and repeating the same arguments over and over. So I don't know if in the end, someone posted the info about the setting for showing hidden things.....or whether someone should post the info, as a solution to the "bug"?
Thanks for your help ~suv
